2 Samuel 2
1 After this, David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah?” The LORD said to him, “Go up.” David said, “Where shall I go up?” He said, “To Hebron.”
A poslije toga David upita Gospoda govoreæi: hoæu li otiæi u koji grad Judin? A Gospod mu reèe: otidi. A David reèe: u koji da otidem? Reèe: Hevron.
2 So David went up there with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
I David otide onamo sa dvije žene svoje, Ahinoamom iz Jezraela i Avigejom koja prije bješe žena Navala iz Karmila.
3 David brought up his men who were with him, every man with his household. They lived in the cities of Hebron.
I ljude koji bijahu s njim odvede David, sve s porodicama njihovijem, i nastaniše se po gradovima Hevronskim.
4 The men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. They told David, “The men of Jabesh Gilead were those who buried Saul.”
I doðoše ljudi od Jude, i pomazaše ondje Davida za cara nad domom Judinijem. I javiše Davidu govoreæi: ljudi iz Javisa Galadova pogreboše Saula.
5 David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh Gilead, and said to them, “Blessed are you by the LORD, that you have shown this kindness to your lord, even to Saul, and have buried him.
I David posla poslanike k ljudima u Javisu Galadovu, i reèe im: da ste blagosloveni Gospodu što uèiniste milost gospodaru svojemu, Saulu, i pogreboste ga.
6 Now may the LORD show loving kindness and truth to you. I also will reward you for this kindness, because you have done this thing.
Zato da uèini Gospod vama milost i vjeru; a ja æu vam uèiniti dobro, što ste to uèinili.
7 Now therefore let your hands be strong, and be valiant; for Saul your lord is dead, and also the house of Judah have anointed me king over them.”
I neka vam se ukrijepe ruke i budite hrabri; jer Saul gospodar vaš pogibe, a dom Judin pomaza mene za cara nad sobom.
8 Now Abner the son of Ner, captain of Saul’s army, had taken Ishbosheth the son of Saul and brought him over to Mahanaim.
Ali Avenir sin Nirov vojvoda Saulov uze Isvosteja sina Saulova, i odvede ga u Mahanajim.
9 He made him king over Gilead, over the Ashurites, over Jezreel, over Ephraim, over Benjamin, and over all Israel.
I zacari ga nad Galadom i nad Asurom i Jezraelom i Jefremom i Venijaminom i nad svijem Izrailjem.
10 Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. But the house of Judah followed David.
Èetrdeset godina bješe Isvosteju sinu Saulovu kad poèe carovati nad Izrailjem; i carova dvije godine. Samo dom Judin držaše se Davida.
11 The time that David was king in Hebron over the house of Judah was seven years and six months.
A David carova u Hevronu nad domom Judinijem sedam godina i šest mjeseca.
12 Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
Potom izide Avenir sin Nirov i sluge Isvosteja sina Saulova iz Mahanajima u Gavaon.
13 Joab the son of Zeruiah and David’s servants went out, and met them by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, the one on the one side of the pool and the other on the other side of the pool.
Takoðe i Joav sin Serujin i sluge Davidove izidoše i sretoše se s njima kod jezera Gavaonskoga, i stadoše jedni s jedne strane jezera a drugi s druge strane.
14 Abner said to Joab, “Please let the young men arise and compete before us!” Joab said, “Let them arise!”
Tada reèe Avenir Joavu: neka ustanu momci i neka se proigraju pred nama. I reèe Joav: neka ustanu.
15 Then they arose and went over by number: twelve for Benjamin and for Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve of David’s servants.
I ustaše, i izidoše na broj: dvanaest od Venijamina sa strane Isvosteja sina Saulova, i dvanaest izmeðu sluga Davidovijeh.
16 They each caught his opponent by the head and thrust his sword in his fellow’s side; so they fell down together. Therefore that place in Gibeon was called Helkath Hazzurim.
I uhvatiše jedan drugoga za glavu, i tisnu jedan drugomu maè svoj u bok, i popadaše zajedno. Otuda se prozva ono mjesto Halkat-Asurim kod Gavaona.
17 The battle was very severe that day; and Abner was beaten, and the men of Israel, before David’s servants.
I bi žestok boj onoga dana; i sluge Davidove razbiše Avenira i Izrailjce.
18 The three sons of Zeruiah were there: Joab, Abishai, and Asahel. Asahel was as light of foot as a wild gazelle.
A ondje bijahu tri sina Serujina: Joav i Avisaj i Asailo. A Asailo bijaše lak na nogu kao srna u polju;
19 Asahel pursued Abner. He did not turn to the right hand or to the left from following Abner.
I potjera Asailo Avenira, i ne svrnu ni nadesno ni nalijevo iza Avenira.
20 Then Abner looked behind him and said, “Is that you, Asahel?” He answered, “It is.”
I Avenir obazre se natrag i reèe: jesi li ti, Asailo? A on reèe: ja sam.
21 Abner said to him, “Turn away to your right hand or to your left, and grab one of the young men, and take his armor.” But Asahel would not turn away from following him.
A Avenir mu reèe: svrni nadesno ili nalijevo, i uzmi jednoga od tijeh momaka, i skini odoru s njega. Ali ne htje Asailo svrnuti iza njega.
22 Abner said again to Asahel, “Turn away from following me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then could I look Joab your brother in the face?”
I Avenir opet reèe Asailu: otstupi od mene; zašto da te sastavim sa zemljom? i kako bih smeo pogledati u Joava brata tvojega?
23 However, he refused to turn away. Therefore Abner with the back end of the spear struck him in the body, so that the spear came out behind him; and he fell down there and died in the same place. As many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died stood still.
Ali on ne htje otstupiti; i Avenir ga udari kopljem pod peto rebro, i izaðe mu koplje na leða, te on pade ondje i umrije na mjesto. I ko god doðe na ono mjesto gdje pade i pogibe Asailo, ustavljaše se.
24 But Joab and Abishai pursued Abner. The sun went down when they had come to the hill of Ammah, that lies before Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.
Ali Joav i Avisaj potjeraše Avenira, i sunce zaðe kad doðoše do brda Ame, koja je prema Giji na putu u pustinju Gavaonsku.
25 The children of Benjamin gathered themselves together after Abner and became one band, and stood on the top of a hill.
I skupiše se sinovi Venijaminovi za Avenirom, te se naèini èeta, i stadoše na vrh jednoga brda.
26 Then Abner called to Joab, and said, “Shall the sword devour forever? Do not you know that it will be bitterness in the latter end? How long will it be then, before you ask the people to return from following their brothers?”
I Avenir viknu Joava i reèe: hoæe li maè proždirati dovijeka? ne znaš li da jadi bivaju napošljetku? zašto veæ ne kažeš narodu da se proðu braæe svoje?
27 Joab said, “As God lives, if you had not spoken, surely then in the morning the people would have gone away, and not each followed his brother.”
A Joav reèe: tako živ bio Bog, da nijesi kazao, narod bi još jutros otišao, nijedan ne bi tjerao brata svojega.
28 So Joab blew the trumpet; and all the people stood still and pursued Israel no more, and they fought no more.
Tada zatrubi Joav u trubu, i ustavi se sav narod i prestaše tjerati Izrailja, i ne biše se više.
29 Abner and his men went all that night through the Arabah; and they passed over the Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and came to Mahanaim.
I tako Avenir i ljudi njegovi idoše preko polja cijelu onu noæ, i prijeðoše preko Jordana, i prošavši sav Vitron doðoše u Mahanajim.
30 Joab returned from following Abner; and when he had gathered all the people together, nineteen men of David’s and Asahel were missing.
A Joav se vrati od Avenira, i kad skupi sav narod, ne bješe od sluga Davidovijeh devetnaest ljudi i Asaila.
31 But David’s servants had struck Benjamin Abner’s men so that three hundred sixty men died.
Ali sluge Davidove pobiše sinova Venijaminovijeh, ljudi Avenirovijeh, tri stotine i šezdeset ljudi, koji izgiboše.
32 They took up Asahel and buried him in the tomb of his father, which was in Bethlehem. Joab and his men went all night, and the day broke on them at Hebron.
A Asaila uzeše i pogreboše u grobu oca njegova koji bijaše u Vitlejemu. I Joav i ljudi njegovi idoše svu noæ, i osvanuše u Hevronu.
